4 weeks, 5 days

Wow, I do not remember being this tired so early on last time. I remember being tired after like 6 weeks or so before but MAN am I sleepy. I think the progesterone makes a big difference. I could literally put my head down on my desk right now and take a nap. I may have to start working out on my lunch break just so I can get through the afternoon. Getting a little exercise definitely perks me up a bit so I suppose I could at least go for a walk during the day. If the weather would EVER GET WARMER! Good grief, it is still like winter in the mornings, it sucks so much!

I spilled the beans to my boss this morning. I just didn't want there to be any confusion about me running out the door in a panic if something goes wrong… again. But I am feeling REALLY good about this one! A combination of things makes me feel like this is going to be okay… my thyroid medicine for one, which I didn't start taking until after I already had been told the bad news on the last one. Then there was the pg test, which was positive on day 31, that is pretty early for me. Plus my cycles really shortened up/evened out the past few months. I don't have any scientific reason why I think that is so great, but in my bones it just feels right. I suspect the thyroid medicine has helped with that. I am a little less stressed out this time, too. Work is going good, I feel like I'm not so overwhelmed. School is winding down and I will be done even before my 3rd trimester. The timing is perfect, I will be finishing up all the hard stuff during the 2nd trimester so I will hopefully even have more energy than I do now. The stars could not be lined up any better! Oh, AND I am about 15 pounds lighter than I was before, too. Just in time to gain it all back, happily :)

By the way, my due date according to americanpregnancy.org is January 1st. My 1st OB appt is June 1st. I called Dr. B's office this morning and left a message for the nursing staff to call me back. How long before I should start demanding to have an ultrasound I wonder???
